Summary:

Improve Principal Evaluation And Create Highly Effective Leaders! Even with great teachers, student achievement hinges on an effective principal. Behind every high-quality principal is an airtight system of leadership evaluation that consistently rewards excellence and remedies deficits. While teacher evaluation methods have improved, instructional leadership evaluation has often stood still-and student learning and achievement have paid the price. This book identifies the major problems in this process and articulates clear solutions. The result is a blueprint for ensuring the best person for the job is occupying the principal's chair. Content includes: . Extensive data, presented in a user-friendly manner . Clear connections to the new ISLLC Standards for School Leaders . A suite of interactive tools including sample self-assessments, mid-year and final evaluation forms, and professional growth plans "This book not only highlights the key messages about the role of the leader, but it is does so in a way that is engaging, practical, and reflects the Smiths' long history of being school leaders, teaching school leaders, and seeing the effects of their teaching. I have seen the Smiths in action, separately and together, and they know how to lead and how to teach, they have a strength of purpose they do not waver from, and these attributes come through in this book." -John Hattie, Director Melbourne Education Research Institute, University of Melbourne "After reading this book, you'll truly understand what it takes to grow as a lead learner. We can always get better. This book provides quality insight on strategies that will make good leaders great." -Brad Currie, School Leader, Corwin Author and Co-Founder of #Satchat
